Retrospective analysis evaluates gas exchange efficiency in adults using different oxygenators during ECMO, indicating similar performance.

Key Points

This analysis aims to compare the performance of various oxygenators used in ECMO for adult patients, particularly focusing on gas exchange efficiency and hemocompatibility.
Retrospective single-center study including 282 adult patients from January 2020 to December 2023 receiving VV or VA ECMO.
Evaluated four types of oxygenators: Medtronic Nautilus/Nautilus Smart, Getinge Heart Lung Support Module Advanced 7.0, Getinge Quadrox-iD Adult, and Fresenius X-Lung.
Analyses employed propensity weighting and adjustments for patient severity and comorbidity indices.
No statistically significant differences in oxygen transfer (VO 2) across oxygenator types after adjusting for covariates.
VO 2 declined over time during ECMO support (p < 0.001) and was higher in VV compared to VA ECMO mode (p = 0.002).
Higher Charlson Comorbidity Index scores were associated with lower VO 2 (p = 0.046).
